Sheila Johnson attended Proviso East High School in Maywood, Illinois as well as the University of Illinois. Together they founded the amusement network BET. They sold the business to Viacom in 1999. They got two kids. In a interview, Sheila Johnson said she herself is “ashamed” of exactly what the BET has become. “I do not see it. I propose to my children they do not see it,” she said. “When we began BET, it would be the Ebony magazine on television. We’d public affairs programming. We’d news… I ‘d a show called Teen Summit, we had a big number of programming, but the issue is that afterward the video revolution started up… And then something began happening, and I did not enjoy it at all. And I recall during those days we’d sit up and see these videos and choose which ones were going on and which ones weren’t. We got plenty of backlash from recording artists…and we needed to begin revealing them. I did not enjoy the way girls were being impersonated in these videos.”
